PaigeGlamelin Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I introduced myself awhile back here but I feel like alot has changed since then. I used to have a 55gallon full of dwarf cichlids and angelfish and a couple tanks in my office, unfortunately my 55 exploded in my living room which resulted in a flood and lots of fish loss. After a few months of missing my favorite tank I eventually was able to buy a storage rack which now holds a row of 4 rimless tanks, the top is filled with vases and plants and my bottom row is where i breed my last two angelfish (yes they made it) and endlers. I have a total of 10 tanks right now but I am still planning on getting more small tanks. If I could give anyone a piece of advice I would say be very skeptical buying used tanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like hard-won advice! I feel sorry for your living room. 😬 You didn't have carpet did you? Anyway, nice to meet ya! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicAshhole Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Welcome! 🙂 Glad you have hardwood and not carpet! Every time I think I want to go back to carpet SOMETHING happens, whether its my aging dog having accidents, spilling water everywhere when doing aquarium work or the thought of having to break out the vacuum every other day(It's VERY dusty where I live).
